Goosing the USB connection
I've observed that it often takes several minutes before my computer picks up the USB connection to my digital camera. Is there a way to goose the detection mechanism to make it pick up the camera? Paul Abrahams
I don't sure because my experience with devices like cameras is short, but may be the reason is a poor USB driver or incorrect BIOS configuration. I never have problems with this in SuSE 9.0 Best regards. El Sábado, 21 de Febrero de 2004 21:15, Paul W. Abrahams escribió:

I'm running SuSE 9.0, so that in itself doesn't solve the problem. Paul Abrahams

I get the same problem, but it occurs on all the systems I have SuSE 9 installed on - workstation and laptops. I don't think there BIOS settings problems in all of them. Nick

I have the same problem. When time is a factor I download my pictures to the iMac and then use my network to move them to my linux machines. This is faster then waiting for the pick up of USB connection to my digital camera. Jerome

uh, why not just get a card reader??? It is much faster, and you can save the extra step thru your Mac , all in one go.. of course, I may just be missing the whole point enterely, I never liked teh idea of plugging in my camera, risking it getting dropped and the sorts of things that can happen on anyone's bust and crowded desks , you know , htose wooden things the computer stuff sits upon.. card reader is good, fast and even betterCHEAO! so if it dies , you toss it and get a new one, and it doesnt' hurt the cards if/when the reader gets knocked to teh ground.. but it sure as shooting will break something in a camera if it's knowcked around much, as I know to my cost. -- j nemo me impune lacessit it's just an afterthought; okay ? : Everytime I lose weight, it finds me again.

I 'd assume that as far as the computer is concerned, a camera and a card reader look pretty much the same -- so is there any reason to expect a faster response from a card reader than from the camera itself? Paul Abrahams

The usb connection takes several minutes, or the icon takes several minutes to appear? They are different issues. In order to check what happens with the usb connection, watch the kernel log while plugging it in. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Disable your "hardware scan on boot" "Yast" > "Runlevel Editor". disable the "hwscan" entry in the list it gives. Reenable it only when you really do need to detect new hardware. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAOcdoNclAUt2HMX8RApMRAJ4uKu7OdpTArSPmdTx+KnwR/3G0igCeMwxT 25ucSGL135xBKi8/jnS4low= =bG5r -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Are you sure you need that? The usb bus might not be up at that point, and if that driver needs it, it will fail. I would put it on a init script after hotplug services (man init.d) Also, Paul's advice is good. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
